ALFRED PECOT, OF FRANKLIN, LOUISIANA.

PE TROLEUM-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 13, 1909.

Application filed June 15, 1908. Serial No. 438,634.

My invention relates to improvements in petroleum burners, and the object thereof is to provide a simple burner which may be applied to the ordinary cooking range and which makes use of down draft, thereby preventing coinbustion at the delivery end of the feed pipe and keeping the feed pipe cool,

preventing carbonization therein.

TVith this object in view, my invention consists in the construction and combinations of parts as hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a section of a part of an ordinary stove, showing my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the pan. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section thereof. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the removable plate forming a part of the top of the stove, through which the feed pi e enters, and Fig. 5 is a cross section on the ine 55 of Fig. 3 looking in the direction of the arrows.

(1, represents the front of an ordinary range, provided with a top I), and having a removrble portion 0, between which the covers fit. The part c, as shown in Fig. 4, is provided with a number of draft holes (Z and a hole e, through which the oil pipe passes, and a hole f for the purposes of ignition.

9 represents a pipe delivering oil into the stove through the hole 6, said pipe connecting by means of another pipe 7t with a source of fuel supply (not shown), a valve being provided, operated by the hand wheel i for cutting off or admitting the supply of fuel whenever desired.

The interior of the range is constructed as usual, except that the grate is removed and in place of the grate, or just above the space the grate would naturally occupy, is placed the pan provided with a rim is and a projecting flange m.

Centrally in the pan is provided a trough a, hollowed out and extending longitudially of said pan and provided at its ends with downwardly projecting portions 0, p. The part 1) fits in a cut-away portion of the U shaped rib on the upper part of the pan 9', and the part 0 is provided with an expanded end '2', which fits into and over the depression in a similar U-shaped projection s on the pan j, as best shown in Fig. 5.

Made integral with or attached to the bot tom part of the pan j, are two downwardly projecting ribbed brackets 15 and a, and through each of these brackets passes an adjusting screw o, as shown in Fig. l

The pan is placed in position in the stove. in the following manner z-The grate and the part c, with the adjacent covers, having been removed, the pan is lowered into position so that the flange m will engage with the part 11) of the stove. The screws 'u are then tightened up from below, which holds the pan firmly in position. It should be noted that when the pan is in position, as shown in Fig. 1, the draft from below will be entirely cut oil', and all the air which is used in the combustion of the oil goes in through the part c.

The operation is as follows :The valve in the oil pipe being opened, the oil is slowly dolivered through the pipe g on to the trough a, near the center thereof, running out toward both edges. Alighted match or taper is then put in through the hole f and the oil is ignited, the damper in the pipe leading to the chimney being open. The combustion of the oil draws in air through the holes d and f, causing a strong down draft.

I claim:

1. The combination of a stove, a fuel pipe passing downwardly through the top of said stove, the top of said stove being provided with a number of perforations surrounding said fuel pipe, a burner pan adapted to be fitted into said stove so as to cut ofl' the upward draft, said burner pan being provided with means for removably securing said pan in said stove, and also provided with a trough running longitudinally thereof and located under said fuel pipe, substantially as described.

2. A burner pan adapted to be fitted into a stove and provided with a raised and flanged edge, with means for securing said pan in position in a stove, and with a trough running longitudinally of said pan, said pan being provided with projections and said trough being provided with parts fitting between and over said projections.

3. A burner pan, consisting of an elongated fiat vessel provided With a raised flanged l at one end an extension fitting over one of 1G edge, one part of said edge being extended, said projections, substantially as described.- said pan also being provided on its bottom In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, With downwardly extending brackets having 1 in presence of tWo witnesses.

7 adjustable screws engaging therein, and said I ALFRED PEOOT pan being provided on its upper face With U- shaped projections and a trough adapted to Witnesses:

fit into said projections, the main body of the I JNO. A. BONINO, trough being raised above the pan and having H. P. FRERE.
